Why BJP-BJD Tie-Up Didn’t Materialize, Amit Shah Tells the Reason

New Delhi: In a recent interview with India Today TV, senior BJP leader and Union Home Minister Amit Shah gave the reason why the BJP chose not to ally with the BJD in Odisha.

“Our party workers strongly believed that for Odia language, culture, and for pride of Odisha, the BJP should fight separately. So went with their beliefs,” Amit Shah said.

He added, “We urge the Odisha public to give the responsibility of state’s growth to BJP under the PM Modi leadership. Wherever PM Modi has emerged victorious, the growth rate has gone up by a huge margin.”

After the failure of alliance talks between both parties, the BJP and the BJD decided to fight the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections alone.
